In this episode, I share a recent office hours conversation with a Doc who was feeling conflicted about the next step in her career. She was burned out from traditional practice ownership and struggled with team management and financial stress. I recommended that she consider owning a dental house call practice, which offers the benefits of low debt, no team, and significant flexibility, making it an ideal option for her situation, especially given her passion for serving homebound patients. Despite her concerns about continuing complex surgical and cosmetic procedures, I assured her that house-call dentistry could be a perfect side hustle, allowing her to maintain her current role as an associate while exploring this new venture.  I also shared my own experiences to highlight the benefits of house-call dentistry. Starting my dental house call practice as a side hustle provided me with an additional source of income and gave me the freedom to learn and grow without financial pressure. This flexibility allowed me to adjust my schedule during important life events like pregnancy and my daughter's first year. I emphasized that owning a house call practice does not limit one's professional scope; instead, it opens up numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth. In closing, I encourage other dentists to consider this fulfilling and adaptable career path, which benefits both practitioners and homebound patients.

In this episode, I wanted to discuss a topic that has been frequently brought up by listeners! The safety of conducting dental house calls. After nearly four years of experience, I have never faced significant safety issues. So I'm reminding listeners of some practical tips from previous episodes on how to ensure safety, such as hiring an assistant, keeping your phone nearby, and situating yourself safely in a room.  I also want to point out that most of my new patients come through referrals from other healthcare providers, which adds a layer of trust and security. Additionally, I point to other professions that involve working in clients' homes on a daily basis without major problems as a reassurance. Finally, I emphasize that while it is crucial to take precautions, the fear of house calls should not deter dentists from offering this valuable service to patients who genuinely need it.

This week, as we enter the New Year, I wanted to address the pervasive issue of dentist burnout, a challenge that has shadowed our community for years. With a recent survey revealing that 40% of dentists feel unable to continue in their roles, it's crucial to explore the root causes of this stress, including financial burdens, workplace conflicts, time management issues, high-pressure procedures, and inadequate work-life balance. So, this week, we discuss potential solutions and offer a fresh perspective on how changing your practice model could alleviate these stressors. In this episode, we delve into the advantages of transitioning to a dental house-call practice, which can offer more financial flexibility, fewer workplace conflicts, improved time management, and stress-free procedure options. House-call dentistry allows for a more personalized and less rushed patient interaction while providing a much-needed work-life balance. With reduced dependencies on insurance companies, practitioners can enjoy a direct fee-for-service model, enhancing financial freedom and professional satisfaction. For listeners considering this shift, our episode provides detailed insights into what a house-call practice entails and how it can transform your dentistry career. In addition, we address great resources, such as my free ebook, "A Day in the Life of a House Call Dentist,", and information on the Dental House Call Practice Academy for those ready to take the leap.

This past year marked a turning point in my journey as an in-home dentist when I received my first one-star Google review after years of house calls with five-star feedback. While some could view it as a setback, it offered invaluable insights. The review originated from an encounter with a patient who had severe scent sensitivities, which required me to adjust not only my professional protocols but even my personal hygiene routines. Despite my many efforts to meet his unique needs, the situation unraveled, leading the patient to demand a refund of his $50 dollar deposit. When my assistant politely explained that the deposit was non-refundable a negative review followed quickly. It was a moment that highlighted that going above and beyond might not always meet everyone's expectations, but it also taught me to set firmer boundaries.   Determined not to let one unfavorable experience define my practice, I made essential changes to our booking process. By increasing the deposit from $50 to $200 for new patient reservations, I effectively filtered out those who might cancel or reschedule casually. This move underscored the unique value of in-home dental care and attracted patients who truly appreciated the service. It was a bold step, but it paid off. Business surged with patients who respected both my time and expertise, and cash flow improved without needing a price hike for the services themselves.   Ultimately, this experience has taught me that adjusting business practices to reflect one's worth is vital. The lesson I learned is essential for any professional: ensure that the logistics of your service support your passion's sustainability. Changing the deposit protocol not only optimized the patient experience but also enhanced my peace of mind. As my practice, AccommoDental, continues to thrive, I want to share this insight with fellow practitioners considering or already offering niche services like in-home visits. Don't shy away from asking for what you need to make your work fulfilling and financially viable.

When dental professionals discuss the current state of oral healthcare within senior communities, a recurring theme emerges; the profound need for change and attention to this often-overlooked aspect of elder care. Observations I've had from various interactions—from social media discussions to direct communications with peers—highlight a distressing trend: a systemic inadequacy in providing quality dental care to individuals residing in senior living facilities. In places ranging from assisted living environments to skilled nursing homes, oral care frequently falls short, exacerbating health challenges for residents who deserve better support for their dental needs. The core of the issue lies in the prevalent disconnect between caregivers and the specialized demands of oral health. Many facility staff members lack the specific training necessary to manage and maintain dental hygiene effectively for older adults, who face unique challenges due to aging and decreased autonomy. Busy and often understaffed, caregivers struggle to dedicate time to dental care, resulting in minimal attention and poor standards of care. This situation calls for more dental professionals to fill the gap, ideally through house call practices that can provide personalized and consistent care directly to residents. The solution? More house-call dentists. Our model allows for tailored care that focuses solely on the individual needs of patients, rather than merely ticking a box for compliance. House-call dentists have the opportunity to advocate for improved standards and to raise awareness among families about the importance of regular dental visits for their loved ones. So as house-call dental practices grow, there is hope that through innovation and dedication, the status quo can be changed to ensure that oral health becomes a priority in senior residences, rather than an afterthought.   Free Master Class  Open Enrollment For Dental House Call Practice Academy   Visit me at: ResiDENTAL Movement Website Visit: AccommoDental Visit: Home Smile Care Foundation   Let's Get Social: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Produced by: Social Chameleon

Embarking on a journey to become a house-call dentist is not about obtaining a specific certification but about gaining hands-on experience and a passion for improving patient lives. The initial stages can be daunting, yet offering simple services such as at-home denture adjustments can significantly enhance patient care. It is crucial for dentists aspiring to provide house calls to recognize the value of continuous learning, even though no single Continuing Education (CE) course will officially qualify them to offer such services. Being a lifelong learner is invaluable, further augmented by mandated CE requirements that ensure professionals stay adept. Upcoming conferences provide fantastic opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals and enrich one's expertise. The recently canceled SCDA conference, now rescheduled for March 2025, represents an excellent chance to engage with groundbreaking topics in hospital, geriatric, and special needs dentistry. Additionally, the National Mobile and Teledentistry Conference in March next year offers unique insights tailored specifically for mobile dental professionals. For those preferring the digital route, online CE courses are a viable, affordable alternative—conveniently accessible from home. Running a successful dental house-call practice requires more than just clinical skills. It's about understanding the business side of this niche and seizing learning opportunities that align with personal and professional growth. This is why the Dental House Call Practice Academy was created, designed to guide aspiring house call dentists through establishing their practice. It encapsulates the knowledge needed to model a fulfilling career in this dynamic field, rooted in a commitment to continuous improvement and patient care excellence.   Free Master Class  Open Enrollment For Dental House Call Practice Academy  Visit me at: ResiDENTAL Movement Website Visit: AccommoDental Visit: Home Smile Care Foundation Let's Get Social: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Produced by: Social Chameleon

In today's fast-paced world, pursuing house-call dentistry is about more than just patient care—it's about advocacy and change. As a fee-for-service dentist, I'm often at pains to explain why I don't accept traditional dental insurance, which typically overlooks the value of home visits. This can sometimes make for difficult conversations, as people struggle to understand the true costs and the significant worth of these services. However my commitment remains to deliver care and comfort to those who cannot easily access it, and I stand by the fair pricing that reflects the quality and convenience of my practice. Every house call is an opportunity to bring vital dental services to patients who are homebound, often dealing with complex health issues. Despite the emotional burden some conversations carry, I'm driven by the understanding that my work makes a meaningful difference in people's lives. Patients and their families realize the immense value of my services, which go beyond mere convenience—they offer security and dignity, far surpassing the additional costs they might incur otherwise. Looking ahead, my goal is to ensure that in-home dental care becomes a standard service, readily covered by dental insurance. While current policies can be discouraging, there are moments of hope! For instance, an insurance company recently contacted me with questions about why a house-call fee was necessary, signaling a possible shift in understanding. With each patient I care for, I work towards a future where house-call dentistry is the norm, inspiring other dentists to join this transformative movement. Every visit is a step towards changing the landscape of dental care, one house call at a time.   Free Master Class  Open Enrollment For Dental House Call Practice Academy    Visit me at: ResiDENTAL Movement Website Visit: AccommoDental Visit: Home Smile Care Foundation   Let's Get Social: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn   Produced by: Social Chameleon

In this episode, I wanted to take a moment to share a poignant story about a patient I'll call James Doe. Over a year ago, James reached out, seeking help for a sharp tooth problem that was cutting his tongue. When I first visited his charming home, I was greeted by his wife, Elaine, and navigated through their cozy residence to find James seated in a recliner. Our initial appointment was filled with heartfelt conversations; James regaled me with stories about his five kids, grandchildren, and his adventurous past, including his service in the military and a long career that took him around the world. After treating his immediate dental issue, I advised James that he needed a comprehensive oral exam to address other dental concerns—advice he surprisingly heeded. Weeks later, I returned for a complete examination and treatment planning session. James and Elaine were faced with tough choices, such as whether to undergo transportation for oral surgery or to manage his condition at home. Elaine's emotional response emphasized the overwhelming nature of caregiving and the importance of support systems. Despite the challenges, James made pragmatic choices typical of many of my patients: opting for SDF placements and focusing on visible restorations to maintain his appearance. Unfortunately, James's health took a downturn, leading to a temporary stay at a care facility where dental hygiene was not prioritized. This exacerbated his dental issues, and upon his return home, we had to adjust our treatment plans. The story reached a touching and insightful conclusion during our last session. James, now bedridden and beset by rheumatoid arthritis, chose comfort over aesthetics for his dental care. He shared life lessons with me, reflecting on the time he wished he could reclaim to spend with his family. This sentiment resonated deeply, reinforcing my own philosophy of valuing time and cherishing moments with loved ones. House-call dentistry, as James' story illustrates, is not just about medical procedures—it's about connecting with patients on a personal level and making a profound impact on their lives. This fulfilling practice model is a unique and rewarding career choice that stands apart from traditional chair-side dentistry.

As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin their colorful descent in Western New York, it's more than just a signal that fall is on its way. September marks a key moment to step back and focus on your business, especially if you're running a dental house-call practice. With the kids back in school and a brief respite before the holiday rush of Q3, this is the prime time to conduct a thorough audit of your practice. Assess whether you achieved your goals, identify any shifts in priorities, and set new objectives that reflect your evolving vision. This reflective pause can ensure that your practice is not just surviving but thriving as you head into the new year. Taking a day off from patient appointments may seem counterintuitive, but it's crucial for long-term growth. When I evaluated my progress and personal goals after becoming a mom, I recognized a paradigm shift where quality time with my daughter took precedence over strict income targets. This led me to establish firm boundaries, such as limiting patient appointments to align better with my personal life. The nimbleness of a house call practice allows for these kinds of quick adaptations, sparing you from bureaucratic hurdles and long waiting periods that can plague traditional practices. For those still in the early stages of establishing a dental house-call practice, now is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in learning and strategic planning. My free ebook, "A Day in the Life of a House Call Dentist," and the comprehensive online course, Dental House Call Practice Academy (DHCPA), offer valuable resources to get started. Taking decisive action today can set the stage for a successful 2025, providing the structure and momentum needed to reach your professional and personal goals. Whether you're adapting your current practice or starting anew, use this September to make impactful changes that will benefit you and your future patients.

This week I wanted to address why starting a dental house-call practice doesn't have to lead to a mountain of debt. While traditional brick-and-mortar practices can cost upwards of half a million dollars, a dental house-call practice can be launched for as little as $30,000. Opting for cost-effective equipment and making savvy choices, like sterilizing at a friend's practice initially, can significantly reduce startup costs. This low-budget approach provides the flexibility to invest more as you grow your practice, avoiding the looming burden of servicing massive loans. The key to a debt-free start is discipline! Much like dieting, saving cash requires spending less than you make, just as losing weight requires consuming fewer calories than you burn. This process may not be easy, but it is straightforward. Building your practice with cash rather than financing ensures you won't be working just to keep up with loan payments. Instead, you'll have the freedom to adjust your schedule as needed and truly enjoy your work, all while providing your patients with excellent care free from financial pressures. It's essential to remember that living debt-free isn't about luxury; it's about security and freedom. Saying no to unnecessary spending allows you to save for significant purchases, providing peace of mind and the ability to make choices without financial strain. Starting your dental house-call practice with cash not only sets a solid financial foundation but also allows you to work without desperation, making your professional life more fulfilling.

This week John is coming at you 1:1 before taking a short break. He highlights some of his favorite moments from Season 2 and teases The Partner, an upcoming project described as a mix of 'The Apprentice' & 'Shark Tank' with John's in-your-face personality that is more frequent on his social media. The Partner will be available soon on John Cerasani TV on YouTube. In this episode John shares his personal journey and insights on the debate between renting and buying a home. Drawing from his own experiences in real estate before and after the recession, including purchasing a large house in Schaumburg, IL, a condo near Cabrini-Green, and a luxury unit in the Trump Tower in Chicago, he challenges the conventional wisdom that buying is always better than renting. John highlights the financial burdens and market risks associated with home ownership, especially in unpredictable markets, and suggests that renting can sometimes offer more freedom and actually make more sense financially. This is a call to DO THE MATH and reconsider those preconceived notions about real estate investment and personal net worth.   Follow John: Instagram TikTok LinkedIn YouTube   2000 Percent Raise (Book)   More 2000 Percent Raise Episodes and Content   Produced by Social Chameleon
